MULTIPLE OFFERS HIGHEST BEST OFFERS IN BY 2pm FEB 5...Wow! What could be a better way to enjoy the Florida lifestyle than to have your cake and eat it too? A lovely, exquisitely appointed open and airy home that takes advantage of the natural surrounding beauty ... and barely 30 minutes from some of the world's most renowned gulf beaches. I mean, this is paradise redefined! Located in an ideally situated golf community (not 55+) on nearly a quarter of an acre with access to pretty much everything, this home offers glorious views of the water feature behind it as well as stunning vistas of the expansive golf course and wooded surroundings. And at just over 2,300 square feet, it's large enough in which to entertain comfortably but not too imposing to maintain. Tray ceilings galore add to the charm and custom character of the home while still maintaining a cozy and quaint feeling. Efficiently laid out, the kitchen offers a built-in window-view seating area which overlooks the lanai and is a chef's delight, with granite countertops, an island, stainless-steel appliances and a spectacular view of the family room, pool, spa and nature beyond. The master suite opens onto the lanai and is resplendent with an enormous bathroom, including two walk-in closets, deep garden tub for soaking, private water closet and a glass walk-in shower. One of the things I personally love about this home is that the study, with built-in shelving and desk, and accompanying third bathroom are set apart from the two additional bedrooms connected by the Jack-and-Jill bathroom. So much room to move! And a whole-house generator to keep you up and moving during our Florida summers. This home has been meticulously maintained, with all service records on hand. Call soon to schedule your private tour, because homes in Tara Preserve just don't come on the market that often.
